Make it make sense, Mommy
In Britain on Wednesday, as John wrote yesterday, there was yet another knife attack. It happened in a place called Golders Green, and the victims, both suffering serious injuries, were two Jewish men, 34 and 76 years old.

Margareta Dovgal: Unsurprising that central banker Carney thinks debt is ‘sovereign wealth
It’s neither sovereign, nor wealth, so it’s a mystery why Prime Minister Mark Carney has chosen this frame for his new $25 billion special project, the “Canada Strong Fund.”
One would typically expect a country announcing such a thing to have actually gone to the trouble of clearing debt and generating true sovereign wealth. The federal Liberals are conveniently skipping a few such steps.
Nolte: Critics Hate Anti-Trump Version of ‘Animal Farm,’ Predicted to Flop
Co-writer and director Andy Serkis took Animal Farm, one of the totems of classic literature, and woke-warped it into something unrecognizable.
George Orwell’s 1945 novella Animal Farm is a scathing reenactment of the 1917 Russian Revolution brilliantly told through talking farm animals.
Immigration minister says she’s accountable after former IRGC official was granted permit for FIFA event
Immigration Minister Lena Diab says she’s accountable after a senior Iranian soccer official with ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — a listed terrorist group in Canada — was granted documents to travel to the country ahead of a pre-FIFA World Cup gathering in Vancouver, before ultimately getting turned around.
But Diab, who spent an hour fielding pointed questions about the case during a parliamentary committee Thursday afternoon, said she was not made aware of the decision to issue Iranian Football Federation president Mehdi Taj documents to enter the country.
And it ain't the only one either. The corruption is legion.@fancypants_s https://t.co/yWWCUhRx3S

‘We Know You Live Right Here’: No Secrets in America’s New Surveillance Dragnet
Liz McLellan spent a morning in January witnessing the work of federal agents who had arrived in Maine to pursue the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
Like other community activists, protesters and passersby around the U.S., McLellan took photos, including of an arrest. Then she followed a federal officer driving an unmarked vehicle to see where the agent was headed next.
McLellan was surprised when the agent led her to her own house and blocked her driveway. Other federal officers quickly arrived, boxing in her car with their own vehicles.
“This is a warning,” an agent told her, according to court records and a video recording. “We know you live right here.”
Doug Ford’s ‘gravy plane’ and secrecy fight test his political durability
After being re-elected in 2004, U.S. president George W. Bush candidly revealed what he extrapolated from the vote.
“I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it,” Bush told reporters two days after the election.
Since being re-elected in 2025, Ontario Premier Doug Ford may not have been quite as blunt, but his third term in office has seen him blow through some precious political capital.
Catering to the Liberal-Left rather than the people who elected him is no longer paying off.
Trump threatens to withdraw troops from Italy and Spain
Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw US troops from Italy and Spain a day after saying he was looking at reducing the number deployed in Germany.
The US president’s threat to Germany came after the country’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said America was being “humiliated” by Iran.
Trump has severely criticised Nato allies for not sending their navies to help to open the strait of Hormuz, a crucial commercial shipping corridor.
Quebec mosque shooter wants to move to medium-security prison due to safety concerns
Alexandre Bissonnette, who pleaded guilty to killing six men at a Quebec City mosque in 2017 is requesting to be moved to a medium-security prison, citing safety concerns.
The gunman opened fire in the Islamic Cultural Centre in the Sainte-Foy neighbourhood nearly 10 years ago in an attack that left 19 injured and 17 children fatherless.
Bissonnette resided at the regional mental health centre in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Que., from 2019 to 2023. He has been serving a life sentence at the Port-Cartier Institution, a maximum-security prison, since September 2023, but his lawyer, Sylvie Bordelais, argues that he could remain in a medium-security facility, given the results of several psychological analyses conducted during his detention.
Armed WHCD suspected shooter Cole Allen seen bolting through metal detector in new, high-quality video
The Justice Department on Thursday released the clearest footage yet of White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect Cole Allen charging the Washington Hilton ballroom security checkpoint as part of the alleged assasination attempt against President Trump.
The video, shared on social media by DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, appears to show that Allen was armed with a long gun during his mad dash.
A K9 appeared to be suspicious of White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting suspect Cole Allen but was pulled away just seconds before Allen charged through security.
The dog was seen following Allen through a doorway but was pulled back by its handler.

Canadian Catholic priest says he was offered euthanasia twice in hospital
A Canadian Catholic priest says that he was twice offered euthanasia while recovering in hospital from a hip fracture, noting that he was “very shocked” that he was asked about the procedure, which has become rampant in Canada.
Seventy-nine-year-old Father Larry Holland, from the Archdiocese of Vancouver, recalled in a recent interview posted by the diocese’s publication, the B.C. Catholic, that he was twice offered an option to, in essence, take his own life with the help of medical staff.
Trump signs order authorizing oil pipeline project partially reviving Keystone XL
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says a key approval for a cross-border oil pipeline project to deliver more of the province’s crude to the United States is coming after years of advocacy from her government.
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a presidential permit authorizing the Bridger Pipeline expansion, considered a partial revival of the Keystone XL pipeline project.
The Keystone XL pipeline proposal was repeatedly killed and resurrected, and at one point cost Alberta taxpayers $1.3 billion.

Guatemalan dealer who sold drugs to kids caught at Canada border after he’s set free with no bail: DA
A Guatemalan drug pusher who dealt gummies to Long Island kids was cut loose with no bail – then caught trying to escape justice by running to Canada, authorities said Thursday.
Wilmer Castillo Garcia, 22, was busted in August 2025 for selling cocaine to an undercover cop and pushing pot gummies to William Floyd Middle School students, with 12 of the kids ending up in the hospital but he was set free because of the state’s “broken” bail laws, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said.
SHAW: Liberals spent decades eroding identity — now Carney plays the ‘patriot’ role
Since the beginning of his tenure as Prime Minister, Mark Carney has consistently evoked the language and imagery of a traditional Canadian identity. Whether it was his allusion to the four founding nations of Canada during the election, or more recently, with a video he published giving praise to Canadian hero Sir Isaac Brock.
Mark Carney is attempting to use these icons of our history to present himself as being a unifying figure, drawing from the Canada we remember but have lost. However, these bids to capitalize on nostalgia fall flat when one begins to recall who is to blame for the loss of this identity.
